The Japnese are some of the slimest people on the planet, but they eat a LOT of rice which has no nutritional value at all, it's pure simple carbs. A Hamburger has more nutritional value than a bowl of rice.


It's about portions and activity level. Not about any specific type of food.

Targeting fast food is just an easy target exploiting people's latent anti-Americanism.

Obesity is an epidemic because we sit on our asses all day and arn';t out in the fields doing manuel labour anymore. It has nothing to do with the food we eat, it has to do with us all have ergonomic office chairs and cushy lounge chairs in front of the TV.

If you want to solve the obesity crisis PUT A TAX ON CHAIRS, not food.

The Japanese are one of the healthiest races out. As for calling them the some of the slimiest people on the planet -get a grip lostalex, we have members on here who are Japanese.

Obesity may be an epidemic - but not one borne from illness. It's through eating too much of the wrong stuff and not enough exercise. It's not rocket science.

as for putting tax on chairs - this is meant to be a serious discussion - so there is little point in adddressing anything else you have to say.
